Evans headed to New Orleans

The New Orleans Pelicans continue their string of strong offseason moves with the acquisition of Tyreke Evans. Evans will be heading to New Orleans via a sign-and-trade with the Sacramento Kings and the Portland Trailblazers. The Pelicans will give Evans a 4-year, $44 million deal. This will give the Pelicans a more than formidable backcourt with Jrue Holiday, Eric Gordon, and Tyreke Evans.
